I've been in favour of establishing a French non-profit org (1901). We've had one for more than 10 years and there's nearly no overhead. One needs a trustworthy representative person with an address in France, at least a president and an accountant (living anywhere in the world), the bylaws need to be written, but other than that it's super liberal and convenient. (In some countries there's a need for "ridiculous amounts of money" just to pay some professional accountant, bank fees etc. just for the basic existence even if there's no income.) Mojca
